[La-cgs] Fwd: Future of Academe Event Scheduled for March 9

Tue Mar 8 08:38:54 CST 2022

Thanks Ramu,

I have email from Jeannine, and have been in contact with her and Claire.
Some of us don't have terminal degree programs, but I'm just confused on
what Graduate Deans are supposed to set up tables to display at this point.
I don't see how recruitment of faculty is our role, though I'm always
willing to sell what we have.

I guess the question would be, how many of you are setting up tables for
tomorrow?
